Did you catch this amazing feature on Jamie Meares' blog? Rachel Hardin's home is everything I want in mine. I loved the way her sister described her style, country club gypsy. From her chintz couches to her gold etagere filled with ginger jars to her antique secretary... I. LOVE. IT. ALL.

You can instantly tell that she is a collector. Every detail in her home is so unique but put together. I hope my home can be like this one day.

If you are a Chinoiserie lover like Jenn and I, I'm sure you are also a fan of Bunny Williams. She was named one of the top 100 interior designers by Architectural Digest and she has an extensive lines of home decor items. I would love to live in a house she decorated when I grow up. Her decorating style is timeless, detailed, and bold yet inviting. I think I read once somewhere that she loves to take everything out of a room and redecorate it completely - this is also a hobby of mine as well. She sounds like someone I would love to chat and go antique shopping with.

Some tips from Bunny herself.

"Old textiles with character, like this embroidered Turkish towel, are a great way to add pattern and warmth to a room. I use them for cushions, to cover a chair, or just tossed over the back of the sofa."

"Flower arrangements should look easy and natural. I like to assemble a small bouquet in my hand, then tie the stems to hold it together before putting it in a container."

via

"Spend money on good upholstery. Quality upholstery will last – if you tire of the fabric, you can always recover the piece."

via

"Art doesn't have to be expensive — even simple framed prints can be interesting."

via

"Homes are meant to be used and lived in. I don’t believe living rooms should be reserved for parties and dining rooms should be fallow except on holidays."

via

"If you want people to go into a room, have a drinks bar."
